(Really, some required parts of Debian are simply missing from
experimental, so it isn't possible to install *just* experimental.)

..well, we do have the 2.6.36 kernel in place in "Experimental",
and X and the radeon driver... what else do we need to fly? ;o)

dpkg. libc. Assuming you want to use apt: apt and perl. binutils.
fileutils. Assuming you want network: ifupdown.

..I troll you ifconfig, dd and netcat. ;o)

(aptitude search '~E') should give you a list of "essential"

..define "essential", in our Experimental context. ;o)

packages. A rare few can be uninstalled in favor of something that
satisfies a virtual package.

..aye. Debian is all about stability, not about fancy kinky
experimental troll cuisine. ;o)

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.
